This 5-CD box was released in 2009 by Warner and includes discs originally on Erato and Teldec (some have also appeared on Warner's "Apex" budget label). This box is rather more interesting than #2, as some of the recordings have not been heard for some time. The recording quality is very good throughout and the performances are very good to outstanding.

CD1 has Chopin's two Piano Concertos Op.11 & Op.21. These are played by the Chopin specialist Maria Joao Pires with the Orchestre National de l'Opera de Monte-Carlo under that underrated conductor, Armin Jordan. These are 1978 recordings, thus capturing Pires early in her career. Chopin - Piano Concertos Nos 1 and 2 was the original release.

CD2 has some Erato recordings from 1956, 1958, and 1963 of Chopin's Sonata 2 Op.35, Sonata 3 Op.58, the Op.60 Barcarolle, and the Polonaise Op.40/1 "Military". These are from Gyorgy Sebok; they have been around on CD before, but not for many years. Excellent.

Elisabeth Leonskaja gives us the Nocturnes on CDs 3 & 4. These were 1992 Teldec releases (Chopin - Complete Nocturnes is the "Apex" version of this very good release.
